Vinous - Antonio Galloni (93+)The 2019 Extra-Brut Le Mont des Chrétiens (magnum) is laced with hints of apricot, dried flowers, chamomile, spice and a hint of tropical fruit. There's just a touch of reduction, but not enough to be intrusive. I find the 2019 a bit quite reticent today, surprisingly so for the generally exuberant style of the year, but this bottle was also disgorged just a few weeks before my visit. I expect to see more textural richness over time. Dosage is 1.5 grams per liter. Disgorged: February 4, 2026. |
